Experience: Hello, I am a small animal veterinarian and am happy to discuss any concerns & questions you have on any species.

Verified

Hello & welcome, I am Dr. B, a licensed veterinarian and I would like to help you with your wee one today.Was the stool normal, hard, loose, or diarrhea?Did she strain to pass it?Are her gums pink or pale/white? Moist or sticky?If you press on her belly, does she have any discomfort, tenderness, or tensing?Could she have eaten something she should not have (ie bones, toys, rat bait, plants, chemicals, etc)?

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
